Teachers and Students Look Forward to TWC!

02.20.19
posted by a Walking Classroom Adopter

At my school, The Walking Classroom is something that both teachers and students look forward to each week. Even though we have just wrapped up our first nine weeks, I have already seen a huge change in the way my students collaborate with each other. In large part, I believe it is due to the wonderful lessons and discussions we have taken part in from listening to the podcasts.

From a teacher’s point of view, I am so thankful for the thought and detail included within each podcast. My students have just completed their first listen through of Volcanoes (Combined-#138, 4-#76, STEM-#19). This podcast has tied in wonderfully with the current reading and science standards we are working on.

Not only is the podcast jam-packed with incredible information about volcanoes, but it ties in a health literacy lesson about eating fruits and vegetables, along with the character value of respect. The Walking Classroom truly understands the struggles a teacher faces when there are so many standards to teach in such a limited amount of time. The podcasts are geared to hit multiple ideas and concepts; and for that, I am very grateful.

    I agree! I love how calm my students are after a walk and the discussion that follows is one I look forward to. Now I’m looking forward to our weather improving so we can get outside again! Fresh air makes such a difference!
